O NCE a Gallinipper, being left alone in the 

world, and fearing the cold winter, that 

« 

was rapidly approaching, decided to journey to a 
warmer clime. 

Although somewhat advanced in age for a 
Gallinipper, his legs were nimble, and his wings,

although still strong, were much worn by long 
service. Knowing that travel would increase 
their rusty appearance, he decided to invest a 
small portion of his fortune in a new pair, to 
add, when the occasion demanded, some show of 
elegance, to his antique but dignified mien. 

He had a trunk made in which he carried 
the necessary articles for his journey, and in that 
he laid, with proud emotion, the much-prized 
wings. 

When all preparations were complete, he

THE TRAVELS OF THREE INSECTS. 


Started on his journey, and vainly tried to drag 
along his trunk. 

Finding this a hopeless undertaking, he seated 
himself on a toadstool, and, shutting his eyes, 
began to think how he could transport his lug- 
gage. 

When almost in despair, and feeling sure 
his much-longed-for trip would have to be aban- 
doned, he heard a rustling sound among the 
leaves around him. 

Opening his eyes quickly, he discovered a

Grasshopper near at hand, gazing upon him with 
distended eyes, and wondering to himself what 
in the wide world that old Gallinipper was doing 
so far from home. 

“Why, friend Gallinipper,” said the Grass- 
hopper, why are you so sad, and what is that 
black thing at your side?” 

“My dear sir,” replied the Gallinipper in a 
haughty tone, ''that is my trunk, containing the 
necessities for a long journey, and I assure you, 
sir, I have lived long enough to know that even

an old insect like me must see the world be- 
fore he dies. Just now I am on my way to 
the border of the ocean, but have come to a 
dead halt, not being able to take my baggage 
with me.” 

“Well,” said the Grasshopper, “I have long 
wished to behold the sea, but not caring to ven- 
ture thus far by myself, I have never been there. 
If you would like my company, we might go 
together, and I will carry your trunk.” 

“Agreed,” said Gallinipper; “I am sure no

insect could desire more worthy company, and I 
assure you, your services shall not go unre- 
warded.” 

With the aid of the Gallinipper the Grass- 
hopper shouldered the trunk, and they started, 
each with his usual gait. 

But the Grasshopper gave one hop, leaving 
poor Gallinipper far behind. However, with a 
great effort, he managed to overtake his friend, 
but, when Mr. Grasshopper began hopping and 
hopping, the Gallinipper was not only overcome

with anxiety about the safety of his wings, but he 
feared the Grasshopper would reach the sea 
long before he could. Hearing a cry of “ stop,” 
the Grasshopper halted, and waited for his an- 
cient friend to join him, and before starting on 
another hop, decided to hold a council. 

“At this rate, my friend,” said the Grass- 
hopper, “ it will be many a long day before you 
breathe salt air. Now, I propose that you let 
me put the trunk down in this quiet spot where 
nothing can molest it, and I will carry you on

my back to the ocean, and will return for the 
trunk.” 

“ Nothing would please me better,” re- 
plied the Gallinipper, “for I should be most 
happy to get out of this part of the country be- 
fore the shadows of night settle down upon us. 
for 1 understand many huge and ravenous 
beasts, at times, dwell here.” 

Mounting the back of the Grasshopper, and 
the Grasshopper giving a big hop, they con- 
tinued their journey, reaching the ocean, after a

few delays in stopping to rest occasionally and 
to admire the scenery. 

In the meantime, a Blue-bottle fiy passing 
over the same route, and, growing weary from 
Hying so far, seeing a black object in his way, 
sat down upon it to rest. He soon fell asleep 
and dreamed of a beautiful land inhabited by 
Hies only, and all of remarkable beauty ; the 
light shining from their wings of such marvelous 
brilliancy that all things around were illuminated, 
and all was warmth and happiness. But night

was approaching, and a chill North wind blowing 
on Blue-bottle awoke him. With a groan, he 
raised himself up, wishing his dream was true, 
and that dies did not have to crawl and grub 
for their daily food. 

Jumping off of the trunk quickly, he saw 
the sun was about to dip down behind the edge 
of the sky, and he would have to hurry if he 
intended to reach any safe shelter before dark. 

“Why not stay here?” he said. “No, not 
in this lonely spot; but I wonder what kind of a

bed this is on which I have had so good a 
rest ? ” 

Crawling around he found a place where it 
seemed to open, and touching accidentally a 
spring, much to his surprise and fear, his impro- 
vised bed opened, and there, reposing softly on 
padded cushions, was a pair of brand-new wings, 
not quite as lovely as those in his dreams, but 
grand and bright enough to make him want 
them. Hastily pulling them out of the trunk, he 
put them over his old ones. He was a wise tiy. 


THE TRA VELS OF THREE INSECTS. 


and did not propose to dispense with the wings 
that had served him well, until he found out 
how much these beautiful new ones were worth. 

But they answered very well, and thanking 
his lucky star that they had fallen to his lot, he 
hastened on, flying faster and faster as he grew 
accustomed to his new wings. 

Soon he reached the seashore, not nearly as 
tired as he expected to be, and there met the 
Gallinipper and the Grasshopper waiting for 
some means of transportation over the ocean.

THE TRAVELS OF THREE INJECTS. 


The Gallinipper and the Grasshopper, see- 
ing him coming toward them, were surprised at 
the sight, for they hardly knew what kind of an 
insect it was. 

“ One would suppose,” said the Gallinipper, 
“ looking at his wings, he was a relation of 
mine, but his general appearance gives one an 
entirely different impression ; he must belong to 
some other family.” 

“ He puzzles me,” said the Grasshopper, 
“but he may make a pleasant companion for you

on your journey, for I must leave you shortly, 
and go about my business.” 

So they bowed politely to the stranger, and 
asked his destination. 

“1 have no settled plan,” said the Blue- 
bottle fly, “but, feeling a desire to see new 
countries, I have ventured thus far, and now, 
having reached the edge of the ocean, would 
like to navigate a little, but not without a safe 
vessel of some kind to transport me to the 
other side.”

THE TRAVELS OF THREE INSECTS. 


“ My friend, Mr. Grasshopper,” said the 
Gallinipper, informs me that Sea-gulls pass this 
way, and for a small compensation, will gla'dly 
carry passengers over to some island, or land 
them on some passing vessel, and I have de- 
termined to avail myself of this means of con- 
veyance as soon as Mr. Grasshopper goes for 
my trunk, which we were obliged to leave on 
the way. Perhaps you saw it while coming 
here? I assure you it contained some valuable 
things.” 


THE TRAVELS OF THREE INSECTS. 


The Blue-bottle gave a knowing wink, but 
remarked only that he did see a black object 
on the road, but had no time to examine it. 

The Grasshopper soon bade them farewell, 
and by daylight they spied a Sea-gull sailing in 
the air toward them. 

“This, my friend,” said the Blue-bottle lly, 
“is too good a chance to lose; therefore, I beg 
you to let your baggage take care of itself, and 
depart with me.” 

This, Gallinipper was unwilling to do, but.

sented, and, with his friend, mounted the wings 
of the Gull, and was soon floating in air, on, on, 
over the water. 

Amazed, frightened, fascinated, on, on they 
flew, until, in the distance, they plainly beheld 
the masts of a steamer. 

On its approach, the Sea-gull gave them an 
opportunity to alight, and near to a lovely little 
boy, who was struck with wonder at the sudden

alike yet not alike. Soon the boy was joined by 
his little sister, and Gallinipper and Blue-bottle 
gazed with awe at the wonderful beauty of the 
children who skipped and romped on the deck 
of the steamer, while Gallinipper and Blue-bottle 
looked on. 

“Come here, Lily,” said the boy, “and see 
these strange insects. One looks like a big 
mosquito, and the other like a mosquito and fly 
combined.” 

“ Let’s take care of them, brother,” said the

our home.” 

So Gallinipper and Blue-bottle were put in 
a box, and kept from harm until they reached a 
harbor, when they landed, and were carried off 
of the steamer into a great big city. 

By this time they longed to be free again, 
and often ventured out in the strange city alone. 

One day they went so far they could not

and hungry, they sat down on a stone, a very 
small stone, and wept, longing and crying for 
their home over the sea. 

“If I onl)' knew how to get home,” said 
Blue-bottle, “ I would stay there, and never ven- 
ture away again.” 

“ Yes,” said Gallinipper, “I, too, would be 
satisfied, and happy, for, in all my wanderings, 1 
have not found a place I like so well.”

sect was quietly weaving a net around them. 
The net was so fine they did not see it until 
they were completely imprisoned. At least Blue- 
bottle was, for when he tried to fly away, his 
stolen wings were caught, and came off, and it 
was impossible for him to make his escape, but 
Gallinipper, by a little device of his own, man- 
aged to cut the web and fly away. 

He afterward met other Gallinippers who 
showed him how to reach his far-offi home.

passing the evening of life together, and telling 
each other over and over again there is no 
place like their humble home.
